United Kingdom

The United Kingdom compresses extraordinary variety into a relatively small landmass: chalk cliffs and moorland in England, Highland glens and lochs in Scotland, the green hills of Wales, and the drumlin-dotted coastline of Northern Ireland. Rain is a reliable presence, and the pub remains the closest thing to a universal social institution.
